Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seph smiled grabbing hold of her tail to keep it still "Yeah but putting those chocobos to one side, she managed to get on quite well with the other chocobos in the stables or at least the majority of them since she's a sociable creature for sure. Though I would like it if we could race her sometime, the rewards are meant to be great and it looks like great fun to me" she almost cheered.

Hebal clapped her hands with approval at the idea "Now that would be an awesome place to take her, I don't think she's ever even seen a moogle before outside of little picture books I used to read her though kupo nuts to all may be a little too much or else we will draw too much attention to ourselves. We don't wanna get mobbed for more by a moogle army" she joked.

Zadina nodded "I don't know why they are so special since I don't think they are particularly tasty and kupo nuts aren't especially rare..." he pondered "At least not rare enough so that there are no shops for it" he said.

Gil shrugged "Well I don't HAVE to do anything but if it means you can travel with me for longer I'd gladly do it," he sighed "In the end most of my life has been just journeying from conflict to conflict so a life of battle wouldn't be a bad thing for me maybe" he said.

Ivy frowned poking the sweet uncertain what to do with it instead choosing to nuzzle into Mari after blowing a raspberry at Alanu which Sophia returned "Really? I hope she really told them off though Gil and Satoshi will probably get a magazine deal before the end of the tournament seeing how famous they are....what kinda magazines is it?" she asked.

Itaka chuckled "I suppose so and she is a racing chocobo so knows all the procedures and stuff, she may seem a bit silly but she can get serious for races" he said sitting up "And the rewards are just usually gil and trophies, most jockeys aren't adventurers like us so don't care for battle items and equipment" he said standing up and stretching.

Hayate rolled his eye trying his hardest not to laugh at the conspiracy theory "As if someone would really do that though it does sound an effective idea. I do actually have an answer to it though, different races and even fiends have different tastes ans some have more sensitive taste senses so what may taste delicious to one group of people, say moogles and kupo nuts could taste like the worst thing in existence to elves" he explained.

Satoshi frowned a little as she patted the space next to her encouraging Enkidu to jump up "Would you ever consider just quitting the mercenary life and settling down somewhere. Ninjas can do that provided you don't go giving away ninja secrets and they can roughly keep track of you"

Alanu sighed removing a second and third sweet from her pocket seeing that Ivy was unsure "If you don't want its fine, but it tastes nice and I bet Sophia would agree" she quietly laughed opening up Sophia's food for her then ate her own "From what I heared Satoshi was being reasonably cooperative with them but theres all sorts of them. There are some magazines that are respectable such as weapons monthly around at present but on the other hand theres trashy gossip magazines around too. You can probably guess which of the two is less interested in the tournament itself"

Seph smile widened and leapt onto Chobi's back catching her completely off guard "Hehe sorry to ambush ya girl but sometimes it's important to stay alert" she apologised glancing at Itaka to see if he wanted to sit behind her "Right that walk/flight still seems to me like a great idea though I wouldn't know where to go to cash in my diamonds since most people will just want to screw us over" she muttered.

Hebal giggled nodding her head along to Hayate's explination "Well thats not such an evil way of looking at things and maybe moogles know how to grow their own kupo nuts if you can farm them. I wonder what viera like that moogles don't though, maybe I could being one loads of food from our forests until we find out if them like it all" she pondered.

Zadina frowned in thought "I wonder what the 'off' berry tastes like" he said "And I mean controlling Kupo nut production as well Mr Hayate" he said spying a toy section at the farside of the shop thanks to an overhead sign.

Gil shrugged "Probably but would settle down anyway if you wanted me too it might be a little difficult for both of us then" he chuckled petting Enkidu and stroking Satoshi's tummy "We'd manage though I'm sure." he said.

Sophia mewled sadly seeing Alanu didn't like her gift before dropping it into the big as Alanu hovered over it "Just looking at the cookies we made earlier" she said taking them out the fridge "Seem to be fine now if you want one" she said placing them on the counter.

Itaka chuckled opening the door before climbing onto Chobi's behind "Banks are generally the place to go to cash goods like that legitimate things too unlike the silly cash converter places you see these days" he said kissing Seph's wings before sliding his arms around her waist.

Hayate nodded pulling a face of disgust at the description "Yeah it tastes really bad, and the juice tastes just as foul to me so I hope it's not the best viera have to offer. Though perhaps it is the case we never get to try the viera food because your all so shy" he answered back choosing not to question the clothes she was looking at too much.

Satoshi quietly laughed tucking her legs in to get comfy again "We probably would eventually manage things despite people pestering and no doubt my team mates would want to keep checking up on me. Long way off before any of that though and I still have 6 months on my travel pass away from the village so won't have to leave for a while" she reassured him.

Alanu swooped down grabbing a cookie from the counter for herself and Sophia "Oh yeah I completely forgot about those for a moment... taste good, better than the ones I've tried in quite a number of stores" she remarked giving Mari a nod of approval "you should get ready to fight now though"

Seph groaned pulling herself away from Itaka then flew back over him and the chocobo to lock up "Ok ok, you go on ahead a second and I'll catch up. I might try taking it to a jewellers and ask for them to be valued before taking them to the bank. It's just once I found out that one bank was trying to only give me 10% of my items worth when cashing in"

Hebal's giggling got louder as she moved away from the swimsuits and onto the slightly less revealing clothes "Hehe your silly Hayate or you haven't tried the right dishes cause the juice is actually quite nice once you get over the fact its hot and spicy. There aren't as many fruit things as you elves though, our main stuff of interest is herbs and spices and stuff for most of the fruit are your standard ones like apples and bananas"

Zadina nodded "That would be super fun if she knows how to cook stuff! I'm gonna go see the toys!" he said happily making his way around the aisles bowing politely to an elderly couple of elves as he passed

Gil nodded "So....you'd be able to travel again at the end?" he said relaxing a little "Well thats a bit of a relief" he said kissing Satoshi "If you don't mind me asking why did you ask for the travel break anyway? Just a holiday right?" he asked.

Mari nodded reaching up to take Sophia from Alanu "Alright Alanu you just stay here and keep an eye on the kids while I'm away" she said beckoning Ivy over before whispering to both of them "Now girls you take good care of Alanu while I'm gone and smoosh any bad guys that come in the door ok?" she whispered smiling happily at seeing her fiends nod happily before Ivy buzzed off to the cookies before Mari handed Sophia back to Alanu. "Feel free to tuck into the cookies or anything else I bought earlier there should be some fruit salad in there," she said scratching her chin "Y'know I don't even remember making these cookies memory must be poor" she shrugged before heading to the door "Wish me luck!" she said checking her armour was in place.

Itaka smiled as Chobi kwehed confused turning around and padding back to Seph obediently headbutting her gently "Don't seem like she'll leave without ya but we'll find you a good place to cash your diamonds or you could always use them for their raw value though a lot of places don't accept that because they could be fake" he said shrugging.
